Let's hope they cut the fat cats at the top.

Yup, it’s going to happen on 10/2. I know of one person getting let go, and it could be just one person here and a few there. But the information I have just acquired (big ears) is that it’s a guy on the 5th floor at 1 Lincoln. Sorry bro.

Moving to The John Adams Building on Tuesday. Anyone who is there now know if it is as miserable in there as I have heard it is? I am all for the change because I live on the South Shore and no longer have to take the commuter rail but I am... — read more 

By December 2019 lots more cuts to come to VP and MD levels. They have a quota to meet with that 8,000 layoffs by 2020 and they are only 40% there, so between now and 2020 there will be huge cuts. But I hear the next round of layoffs is targeting... — read more

Looks like Ireland is next on SS hitlist for outsourcing, would you stick it out for the redundancy or run for the hills?

With cuts happening at various State Street locations both yesterday and the day before, I'm not sure if I should relax just yet or if there will be more today? Do we know if we are done for sure?

how big were the layoffs. thank you!

Hope it's me. SSC s—s, the worst employer in Boston.

I hear is going to be a busy day

Ron is presiding over a failing firm whilst sailing his competition yacht all over the world. Thoughts?

It makes sense that the next big one would be October. Give the people 2 months notice and then by end of December they will have a leaner workforce to make those layoff numbers for the new year.

No one can build his or her career here any longer in confidence. The truth is once someone is maybe feeling like it’s taking off In a good direction, the job may be eliminated or placed offshore. Pretty grim I guess. Greener pastures out there... — read more

Truth is we were told in confidence, 6 years ago when my job was supposed be sent over, that these offshore employees Make less than 2.50 an hour and SSC doesn’t have to pay their health or 401k. So do the math. We can never compete with that. So, ... — read more

Just wondering, if there was a union at State Street, a lot of this wouldnt be happening. What are peoples thoughts?

So is the 60 days (i.e. 5-6 weeks) from notification to last day apart of your severance package? For example, if someone worked there 10 years for 20 weeks severance, would after their last day they only get severance for 14-15 weeks?

For all of you who think WFH is a soft perk, State Street receives a $2k per employee per year tax credit for this. Assuming 15k Boston employees, that $30M per year. Could be used to offset cutting us to the bone, but alas that’s a fools errand!
